‘Najib had to be aware of flow of 1MDB funds’

Kevin Michael Swampillai, 59, who is the ex-head of wealth management services at BSI Bank, said he formed the impression based on the fact that SRC International Sdn Bhd – one of BSI’s 1MDB-linked clients – was a company owned by the Finance Ministry at the time when Najib was finance minister.
